"Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. Its the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells 'CAN'T', but you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper, 'can'. And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are." ~unknown~

Homie and I got out for several 13ers, starting from Hoosier Pass. This was an excellent route, lots of time above treeline, easy walking/jogging on the wide ridge. It took us 3:55 going at a casual to moderate pace for the ~12 miles/3,500 vertical. The weather was decent, but a bit cold and windy at times. Snow chased us back to the car at noon where the wives were waiting after they had finished their own version of the hike. Finally starting to feel well acclimated. Stopped for awesome burgers/fries at Smashburger in Silverthorne.
